Turkey vs Scotland 16.11.2022

Turkey and Scotland will trade tackles on Wednesday in an international friendly. Both teams will not be at the World Cup, but the international friendly gives the managers of both sides an opportunity to continue working on their respective squads ahead of the next European Championship.

The talking point in the Scottish media ahead of this clash against Turkey is the absence of players from Celtic. Anthony Ralston, Greg Taylor and David Turnbull have all been left out of the squad to prosecute the friendly due to Celtic’s tour of Australia. Meanwhile, Liverpool youngster Calvin Ramsey earned a call-up.

There is no such distraction for Stefan Kuntz, the manager of the Turkish side who has all his preferred players available. That means he is going to grapple with a selection headache. However, we expect that Kuntz will feature some of the new players in the fold to help them integrate more into the team.

On what we expect, we expect an open end-to-end match, since it is not a competitive game. Therefore, we reckon both sides will score in this fixture.
